Renault master 3.0 - Martin Devon
The Master range of which I have a 2.2 version and well documented here, apparently produced for a very short period I believe, a 3.0 version with a Nissan engine with some 150 BHP iirc. Does anyone know of any inherent problems with this lump. I may be able to get hold of a low mileage much loved example and wish to cover all bases.

TIA..........Martin D

Ah, that's a bit disappointing.
I have just had a word with the indy Renault specialist that i use for my Master and although he has heard of them, he said that they "haven't had any dealings with them as yet" ....
He started to suggest that the best place to ask would be a Renault dealer, then corrected himself, ".. they wouldn't tell you if they were going wrong would they?..."

He also thought that "some" cars used that engine, but the only comment that i can find from a quick look at CBC ( re. the Vel Satis) is to make sure to change the belt and tensioner regularly, and that the belt doesn't drive the water pump

Don't know if you've seen it, but there is a Renault forum ...

www.renaultforums.co.uk

someone on there might be able to help?

or on Renault's own forum ..

hope you get your answer.

If it's a Nissan engine, why not ask on Nissan forums?
